They Were All Coming for Me

Just entered the mansion!

Qin Yan felt many eyes on him, but his expression remained unchanged!

"Brother Qin, this way!"

As soon as Qi Hao entered, he spotted many familiar faces and led Qin Yan to a group of young people.

On the other side of the screen were the ladies and young women.

Many people peered through the gaps in the screen, covering their faces and whispering amongst themselves.

The young people in front of me also belong to their own small circles.

It's basically related to their parents' generation.

The friendships of the previous generation extend to the next.

These people greeted Qin Yan with great politeness, and their manners were impeccable.

Most of these people's elders worked in the Demon-Suppressing Bureau and the Ministry of War!

Qin Yan also saw Song Qianyang here, with a young man who looked somewhat similar to him beside him.

But he appears more mature and possesses considerable personal strength.

"General Qin, my ancestor requests your presence!"

At that moment, a handsome young man with a hearty smile came to Qin Yan's side.

"It's Elder Pillar of the State!"

"Good!"

Qin Yan smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then asked the other party, "May I ask how you should be addressed?"

Just call me Li Ming!

Li Ming laughed and said, "I've long heard of Brother Qin's great name. We'll have to have a good drink later."

"Nature!"

Qin Yan nodded and smiled faintly.

After traversing the winding road, we arrived at the back garden of the Duke Yingguo's Mansion.

In the pavilion.

An elderly man dressed in festive attire looked at the woman beside him with a doting expression.

The woman was dressed simply, but she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

However, there was a hint of melancholy in his expression!

"Ancestor, Qin Yan has been brought."

Li Ming said respectfully, then turned to the woman beside him with a smile, "Cousin!"

"Cousin, General Qin!"

Su Weiyu bowed slightly. "Ancestors, if you have something to discuss, I'll take my leave now!"

"It's nothing!"

Elder Pillar of the State smiled and waved his hand, "I just want to see this newly rising young general of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau!"

"Greetings, Elder Pillar of the State!"

Qin Yan quickly bowed!

"Step forward."

Elder Pillar of the State looked at Qin Yan and immediately smiled.

Su Weiyu also curiously sized up the young general in front of her who had caused a sensation throughout the Capital!

He didn't have the physique of a burly military general.

Although he was tall, he was remarkably well-proportioned.

He wasn't exactly handsome, but he was extremely pleasing to the eye, especially his pair of jet-black eyes, which seemed like an abyss that was unfathomable!

"Not bad, just a little thinner."

Looking at Qin Yan in front of him, the Elder Pillar of the State said with a smile, "As a military officer, you should eat more meat."

But you're still young, you'll have plenty of time later.

Qin Yan could only respond with a smile.

The martial arts techniques he practiced and his physique destined him to never grow into the physique of a traditional martial arts general!

What level have you reached now?

After a long pause, the Elder Pillar of the State smiled faintly and said, "Your Panxin Realm has reached perfection. Even I cannot see through your cultivation level."

His martial arts talent is so high that he might even surpass Qin Zhu's by a degree.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming and Su Weiyu were shocked. They came from a military family and were extremely knowledgeable about certain martial arts techniques.

This includes the Panxin Realm) technique, which is easy to learn but very few people master.

Not to mention cultivating it to perfection.

The other party has only been with the Demon-Suppressing Bureau for a year, yet they have already cultivated their skills to this level.

"Having barely reached the Xiantian Realm, coupled with his innate superhuman strength, this young man should be virtually unmatched among those of the same realm."

An extremely arrogant response.

However, Li Ming and the others did not find the other party arrogant.

Because the other party was truly capable of doing it, and even shot and killed the Grandmaster Chi Yifeng!

"Hmm!" Elder Pillar of the State gave Qin Yan a deep look. "He can break the record for the fastest breakthrough to the Xiantian Great Li Dynasty."

But remember not to be arrogant; the world is vast, and the strong are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Some of the older monsters are even more terrifyingly powerful.

Practice diligently!

He said this and waved his hand.

"Brother Qin, the old man is feeling a bit weak. Let's go to the banquet and have a good drink!"

"Good!"

Qin Yan responded with a smile, implying that this Supreme Pillar of the State had only come to see him for a moment.

Stopping all thoughts of it, I returned to the banquet!

"Brother Qin, Elder Pillar of the State personally summoned you. Does this mean he's taken a liking to you and wants to take you as his apprentice?"

Qi Hao shouted, and everyone around him immediately perked up their ears.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Yan rolled his eyes. "Elder Pillar of the State is just curious and wants to see me. It's not like the mess you're thinking."

However, he soon discovered that several more members of the younger generation had arrived.

These people possessed an exceptionally powerful aura!

Who are these people?!

Qin Yan nudged Qi Hao's arm and asked.

"They! Some aristocratic families send a portion of their talented Lineage to cultivate in Buddhism or Daoism!"

These people are exceptionally capable, but also extremely arrogant.

Qi Hao whispered.

"Someone just asked about you. Quite a few people say you're the number one among the younger generation."

Some of these guys are not convinced and want to challenge you.

"Are you sick in the head?!"

Qin Yan couldn't help but frown.

"Hehe, people are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Who told you to be the number one among the younger generation!"

Qi Hao laughed heartily.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"The Prince Jing has arrived!"

The announcement was made.

Everyone at the banquet turned serious; the future crown prince had arrived!

These are people we have to take seriously.

An elderly man, who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, was dressed in a python robe and exuded an aura very similar to that of Prince Jing.

Behind him followed Xia Chengqian!

Upon seeing Qin Yan, Xia Chengqian immediately raised an eyebrow and looked over!

The 150th birthday celebration of the Elder Pillar of the State was extremely grand, and in addition to the crown prince, some princes and dukes also attended the banquet.

Especially princes, most of them are over fifty years old.

These people were all left in the court by Hongjia Emperor to compete against the Crown Prince.

To check and balance the political situation!

When the two sides met, they mostly wore forced smiles, maintaining a superficial brotherly and respectful facade.

Feeling bored, Xia Chengqian went straight to Qin Yan's side and said, "You haven't come to see me at all lately."

I'm so bored staring at my uncles and cousins all day long.

Xia Chengqian couldn't help but complain.

Elder Pillar of the State has also come out.

He looked at everyone with a smile!

The banquet was extremely lively, with the Crown Prince in attendance and princes on either side.

The stage is filled with performances by renowned opera artists from all over Capital!

As a pillar of the Great Li Dynasty, he was given the highest level of respect by the royal family.

"Today is my birthday, watching only opera is really not very interesting."

Elder Pillar of the State found the performance on stage somewhat uninteresting, then chuckled and said:

"I have spent half my life in the military, and there are many young talents here. Why don't we go up on stage and have a friendly competition?"

Let this old man see the vigor of youth.

I will offer the 'Sky Amber Saber' as a prize.

The room immediately became noisy upon hearing this!

Qin Yan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Good grief, this is coming for me.

He could already feel many eyes on him from those around him.
